Trouble Running Multiple Arma 2 Servers


BHBorn2Kill

Question

I've been racking my brain for the last 2 days trying to get a second Arma 2 instance running on my dedicated server.  I've googled and tested and tested again and I humbly ask for a second set of eyes to point out what I am doing wrong.

 

My primary A2 Epoch server runs on port 2302 and the steam ports are set as follows in the server config file:

 

steamport = 2300;
steamqueryport = 2301;

 

This server is running perfectly and has been for over a year.

 

For the second instance, I've copied the entire server directory to a separate folder and am launching the server with this command line:

 

"C:\DayZPVPServer\arma2oaserver.exe" -nosplash -nosound -ip=64.94.238.133 -port=2402 -maxMem=2047 -exThreads=7 -noCB "-config=instance_2_Utes\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_2_Utes\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_2_Utes" -name=instance_2_Utes "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;" "-BEpath=C:\DayZPVPServer\instance_2_Utes\BattlEye" -cpuCount=4

 

I've tried setting the steam ports to every port imaginable as to not conflict with the other server and it won't accept any connections.  Also note that this second sever uses a separate database.

 

I either get "You were licked from the game", or the server just sits at Wait For Host and the log files spam Player without Identity forever.

 

In trouble shooting the issue, I copied all the server files to my test environment and started the server under the default ports 2302 and steam ports 2300 and 2301.  The server starts and runs as it should so it's not missing files or having other non port related issues.

 

I also have a test A3 Epoch server that successfully runs on the same server using the port 2402 on the production server.

 

 8:35:00 Dedicated host created.
 8:35:03 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.198)
 8:35:03 Host identity created.
 8:35:03 Game Port: 2402, Steam Query Port: 2403

 

Arma 3 Sever Config:

steamport = 8766;
steamqueryport = 27016;

 

The one strange this I noticed is that the Arma 3 server is reporting Steam Query Port 2403 even though I have the config file set to 27016.

 

I've read so many conflicting things on what to set these steam ports too, my eyes are blurry.

 

Anyone see anything that I've overlooked or not tested?

 

Thank you community.

 

Edit:  The productions server is running Windows 2008 (x64).  Firewall is disabled.
